I always thought protesters should wear jeans or tan tactical pants, boots, vest and plate ($35-50 from Amazon), a tacticool utility belt ($20-30 from amazon), helmet ($30 from amazon) a black Balaclava Ski Mask ($6), with sunglasses. On the right chest have a random ID number like "A462". Slap an American flag patch (or a Police gang patch with the blue line).

You could even throw in a functional gas mask for $50

These ICE creeps don't have a proper issued uniform. They bought their shit off amazon as well. I saw one dude who looked like he was wearing airsoft/paintball stuff.

Can you imagine the confusion if everyone dressed in tacticool? Those untrained ICE idiots would be completely lost.

Wow, I have not seen a church of the sub genius reference in almost 20 years.

Well, that's probably just part of the Pink Conspiracy. They've been stealing your slack.

They just had a cool doc about them come out not that long ago. Sadly, the podcast/Hour of Slack has come to an end:

https://archive.org/details/hourofslack

The Hour of Slack was produced weekly since 1985 by REV. IVAN STANG (PO Box 807, Glen Rose, Texas, 76043, USA) -- more years than Johnny Carson or David Letterman were on the air. The show was discontinued in June, 2022; host Rev. Stang simply got burned out after 37 years of weekly shows. His hearing loss wasn't helping either.

there was a analog horror/ARG on youtube that used some of their stuff i think its been a few years now.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Does listening to 40oz count?

Yup.

It would be VERY easy to infiltrate them while they're out in the field. Just surround them with people looking just like them. They'd have no option but to retreat.

And do this on Halloween so they can't arrest you for impersonating an officer either! #lifeHacks

Sorry 🤭

EDIT: Oh, wait... no, wait a minute... does the fact that they don't have an officially issued uniform really mean that technically you could argue in court that you were not impersonating an officer? That. Is. Wildly stupid of them if true.

[–] IndridCold@lemmy.ca 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

As long as you had nothing on your "uniform" that said Police or had a badge of any sort, they would be hard pressed to charge you with anything. If they nabbed you, and you weren't black bagged to a blackzone and disappeared, you could always say you arrived to protest wearing a helmet, plate carrier, gas mask because of the documented law enforcement violence towards citizens. The pouches and utility belt could contain things like first aid supplies.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

First aid supplies OR tiny plastic unicorns and skittles.

I would, but with my luck that would be the day everyone decides enough is enough and they start beating the dogshit out of every ice agent lol

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

I love this idea.
